"Pentek fully supports the OpenVPX (TM) standard and its mission to enable interoperability among vendors and promote long-term availability of VPX technology across the industry," said Rodger Hosking, vice president and co-founder of Pentek, Inc. He added, "The latest embedded system designs have strongly shifted towards serial fabric-based system architectures using both PCIe and SRIO, primarily to improve board-to-board data transfer rates to handle higher signal bandwidths, more powerful FPGAs and processors, and faster peripherals. Pentek has announced a family of OpenVPX products, representing the industry's highest performance data acquisition and software radio boards."
